    90% of those tweets were definitely in jest. The media got fooled super hard by them though, lol.

    We can assume that everything Kanye writes from his mom's POV on this track is a reflection of what's going with him irl, right?

    So, like, if he has his mom say "i see that you're happy, don't let the voices in your head get to you," it's logical to assume Kanye's been happy on the surface recently, but troubled/insecure.

    In the same vein, he has his mom say "remember how I'd say/hey hey one day you'll be the man you always knew you could be/and if you knew how proud I was" because, in real life, he's been feeling like he hasn't accomplished enough, or whatever, recently.

    It's not like he's going around feeling great, and then made this song to further stroke his ego - he made it to lift himself out of whatever slump he's been in recently.

    At least that's how I see it. He knows he'll never actually know how his mom feels about him, or his wife, or his daughter. And that thought itself has been affecting him recently, so he made a song to combat those feelings.

    I get you think it's presumptuous or something…but it's his mom lol. I don't see what's wrong assuming she would, in this order, 1) tell him to realize and love what he has 2) Remember that she will love him/be proud of who he is, 3) tell his granddaughter about her.

    idk

    Jesus Walks is cornier than I Am A God.

    Also, calling things corny is getting corny

    don't see how anything in the song could come off as "corny" given the reality in the matter

    I actually don't really agree, I feel like the minimalism makes it more powerful

    Poured his heart and soul into this track. Vintage Ye. I can see them performing this at the Grammys together.

    You've angered the HuffPo Hipster class, and unearthed possibly the most ignorant group of music listeners I've seen for a while. @BigCountry said it perfectly. These are the types of pretentious f---s in their mid-twenties who sit in cafés and act like the saw the Beatles live back in the day. Bunch of losers.

    the more obnoxious ones were the people who were saying that they lost all respect for McCartney for working with that thug/gangster/whatever who had clearly never heard Kanye's music.
    I think it is less of a crime to be a young person and not know Paul McCartney than to be an older music fan and be so dismissive like that.
